Mr Governor one of the um parts of the

0:01

budget that got a lot of attention over

0:03

the weekend um was related to like terms

0:05

mother and father and and making that

0:07

more uh gender neutral um what was

0:09

behind that that uh decision and do you

0:11

stand by it of course I do it’s it’s

0:14

absolutely you know what the Republicans

0:16

say is a lie you know so of course I’m

0:19

pretty uh PE about that uh it all this

0:23

does it gives people a chance that are

0:26

using IVF which I think I think uh

0:29

Republic an are kind of okay with that

0:32

uh have certainty legal certainty about

0:35

a mom being able to uh uh you know to

0:39

have a year worth of uh care so that’s

0:43

it so I didn’t know that I that

0:46

Republicans were against ibf but

0:48

apparently they are because that is what

0:50

that’s about moms are moms dads are dads

0:53

and uh what we want is legal certainty

0:57

that that uh we’re able to uh have that

1:01

moms are able to get the care they need

1:03

that’s it end the story you know it you

1:07

can count on this being you know uh

1:10

something that the Republicans are be

1:13

becoming very good at and that is lying

1:16

and it’s really unfortunate that that

1:19

that we’re in this position all we want

1:21

is to make sure that moms and dads have

1:25

the legal Fe you know things have been

1:28

taken care of legally so that moms can

1:31

have a year of service from an

1:35

obgym end the story what’s your action

1:38

of people speaking out against

1:40

it I think the first of all it’s it’s

1:43

it’s mainly Republicans looking for an

1:45

advantage during a during uh the time

1:48

when they’re under attack that’s what I

1:51

think that’s their problem not mine

1:53

we’re just working we’re working for the

1:55

families in Wisconsin especially those

1:57

that are receiving IV F services and

2:02

making sure that they we can C make

2:05

certain that the mom is able to get the

2:08

services she deserves this doesn’t get

2:11

through in the budget is there a chance

2:13

it goes through as a standalone bill or

2:14

gets proposed could be yeah it could be

2:17

maybe they’re maybe maybe that’ll make

2:20

it easier for the Republicans to not lie

2:22

about it thank you yeah
